entered test mode on my sph-a400 Sprint phone, and would like to testify......Do NOT ALTER ANY SETTINGS! I changed number 005, and could no longer get digital service, even though I changed it back to default. I then changed 018 and back, and the phone was useless. The LED blikned, and would do so until the battery was removed. Turning it on later produced the same results. There may be a fail-safe or something. Also, here's a few other numbers I found. They aren't in any order, so there are bound to be more commands out there. these are the few I got before the phone died.

888-00000000

555-Lamp On

556-Lamp Off

554-Backlight Off(Same as042?)

553-Backligt On(Same as 441?)

552-Nothing

551-Read Model(Pressing keys types sph-a400. Lame.)

550- Resetting(This will reset your phone instantly!) There will be a pretty graphic to watch while all you phone info is flushed away. No, it's probably not worth it. BE CAREFUL with this!

Press 1 to access the "Phone#" menu. The first option will be "Phone #". Enter your phone number and press OK. The second option will be "MOBILE ID #". On my phone, this is the same as my phone number. Enter it in and press OK. You will return to the "Svc Menu".

Press 2 to access the "General" menu. You will have access to a variety of options I don't even understand. One of these is "Lock Code", which is simply the phone's four-digit security code.

Press 3 to access the "NAM" menu. You will have access to another variety of options I don't understand. One of these is "Home SID", which designates your home market of the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.

Don't allow the phone to remain in this menu too long, or it will exit the programming menu and reboot.

To manually exit the programming menu, hit "END" at any time. The phone will display "Service Done", turn off, and reboot with your new settings.

1. Start by turning on your phone (press the red End key on the upper right side of the keypad) and wait for it to power up - this should take just a couple of seconds. Check to see that you put your battery back in your phone after activation. Make sure your battery is fully charged, or plug the phone into an outlet - preferably electric. Avoid gas and hamster power sources.

2. You will now see a screen that says "Virgin Mobile" and some other stuff. Using the keypad, enter six "1's." Your screen should show "11-1111." "Option" should now be highlighted at the bottom of the screen. Press the "OK" key.

5. After a few seconds, the "Service Options" menu will appear. Press the down arrow on the navigational key once to highlight the "Phone Number" option. Press the "OK" key.

Most of they codes are "customised" for individual handsets/service providers by the phone manufacturer.

For instance for I am yet to find some good codes (besides AKEY and a few more) for the Samsung SCH A563. None of the codes for the 565 (Spanish/Brazilian edition) or the 500 (US Edition) seem to work!

Mobile Identification Number. A number assigned by the wireless carrier to a customer's phone. The MIN is meant to be changeable, since the phone could change hands or a customer could move to another city.

SID:

The SID (System Identification Number) is a number (0-32,767) transmitted by base stations that identifies a wireless system that conforms to a TIA cellular or PCS standard. The SID is used by mobiles to recognize when they are in their home system (e.g. it controls the "roam" light). Some newer phones may maintain a list of "preferred" systems identified by their SID code. The SID may also modify some signaling messages that are transmitted by mobiles.

In the wireless network, the SID is used for billing purposes, as a unique identification of the system that is serving a mobile (and that thus must be compensated for services provided to roamers).

So, this is what I understand from the information you gave me. Reliance will assign one or more of these SIDs to mobile phones to track the home/roaming areas for each mobile phone. Thus, when I take a connection from Reliance by buying a Reliance phone (with an unassigned number), Reliance will program the phone with SID, etc.

Good searching man. Trouble is that these codes are usually changed (especially the programming codes) for every region. So none of them work with Indian/RIM handsets. Thus rendering all your efforts useless.

naa ... change the emergency numbers to any number u choose, but the billing happens from the MSP's backend .. (frm reliance in this case) so it will not be a free call ...

(else do u think anyone would have gone for the free rim2rim schemes ??? for all i know, u would just hardcode the number of ya gal onto the hs )

well .. so that blanks out that question

i tried that in my nokia 2280 but the emergency no cant be more than 8 digits so no ordinary phone no can be entered in that feild(as i believe or may be its just my nokia 2280)Wat i was planning was something to mess up with 1234(rs.6/min==>somebody bring me Glucose!!!).
